Bagels Restaurants in New York, NY

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“Yes please to all of it! We love this place.“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Number 1 in my own personal world since 1994!!! The best and they never disappoint!!“

“The best bagel I had in NYC. Soft and chewy toasted bagels, freshly sliced gravlax lox, scallion cream cheese with capers, onions and tomatoes. Is there anything more quintessential bagel-ly than that??

Take a ticket when you enter and listen closely for them to call your number. Even when there's a lot of people in the store, the line moves fast.“

“Great house special bagels - everything bagel with lox, tomato, capers and scallion cream cheese. Iced coffee was good too, strong and not too sweet with flavorings. Staff was really welcoming and helpful on our first visit. Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for a good bagel. I’d go back without a doubt.“

“the counter person weekend afternoons 96th street is so kind and helpful and patient especially old people like me... customer for life.“

“H&H bagels opened in St. John’s Florida this week! It’s wonderful to have a authentic New York City bagels in the community. They are so much better than what you buy at the grocery store. Love the sandwiches for breakfast or lunch or buy them for a picnic, road trip, take to the beach, or pick them up early in the morning and surprise the family with fresh bagels for breakfast!“

“I have missed NY bagels something fierce being on the West Coast now! My Director recently went back and brought bagels back! They were so good! I love how lite and airy they were even after toasting. My coworker didn’t believe that it was still going to be chewy even after toasting. Delicious.“

“I mean, the obvious 5 star review. Don't let them scare you off the belly - much saltier, true (don't add capers), but you can really taste the salmon for what it is that way. Lots of nice, decently priced gifts to take home, easy ordering system, they move relatively quickly. Chocolate babka is killer.“

“Full disclosure...I was a guest at the Clam Shack outside of Caviar Kaspia. First Lobster roll of the season. Outdoor seating marvelous. We.made a ressie but maybe you can walk in. See the dessert. I dont know what it was other than fabulous.“

“Clean, efficient bagel shop with many choices of bagels, sandwiches, spreads, desserts and coffees. My wife had the lunch special wrap while I had a salt bagel with low fat cream cheese, turkey and tomato. Both were excellent. The bagel was not hard, nor too chewy. Just right.“

“Went on a run and stopped here on the way home. I was nervous about the length of the line but they were INCREDIBLE. What I thought would be at least 30 min took less than 10 and I didn’t even feel rushed. They know what they are doing there and are the nicest people EVER! Also sidebar the guy who works the bags for the line knows everyone’s names and it was a beautiful thing to witness as a first timer at this location“

“Incredible place with a great attention. You may have to wait a little to order your bagel but once you’re inside it’s quick. The food is amazing, I ordered the BLT bagel and it was really really good. I recommend ordering the orange juice, one of the best.“

“10/10 — Black Seed Bagels was exactly the fuel I needed to survive (and thrive) through a night in Times Square.The bagel? Flawless. The vibe? Immaculate.

If you’re planning to conquer the city that never sleeps, make sure you carb-load at Black Seed first. Your future self will thank you.

🧡🤣“

“Essa is my new go to when it comes to sending a taste of New York as a thank you. All 3 of my orders arrived quickly, were fresh as can be and got rave reviews from Oklahoma, California and Kansas. The flavored cream cheese in particular was mentioned as amazing. Thank you Essa Bagel and thanks also to Goldbelly for spreading good food and good cheer!“

“wonderful blueberry bagels“

“The best bagels hands down! This has become our "go to" stop each time we pass through NY for bagels. Great customer service. We can call ahead and they have the order ready for our multiple (and large) family order with everything perfect! Super helpful and also help with bringing the many bags out to the car! So much appreciation! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see you again!“

“I could’ve stayed and played all day! The staff were friendly and helpful. Their monger was knowledgeable and helped me select the perfect cheese for my event! Thank you for a wonderful and tasty experience!“

“Spending three weeks in New York, it's been one of my favorite places to get a quick and high-quality breakfast in the morning..."GRACIAS!" to all those that work there. (y)“

“It was my first time there but certainly will not be my last. The cashiers knew we weren't from there but super super nice. I had THE BEST quiche I have EVER had. I joked that they sprinkled crack or something on it because I wanted to buy the WHOLE pie . It was beyond fluffy and delicious. It was mushroom, caramelized onion and cheese. I also has a side of bacon and home fries plus a hazelnut latte. It was less than $30 and beyond filling. I took 1/2 home because it was so much food. I didn't think to take a pic before I started eating, so no, that's not the whole quiche lol. Customer service was top tier and considering that NYC has a reputation for rude people (not true...mostly), this place makes you feel special!“

“If you’re looking for a fantastic breakfast spot, Gourmet Bagel is the place to go. I stopped in for a Western omelette and a coffee, and both exceeded expectations. The omelette was cooked perfectly—fluffy, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients. It came with a generous serving of toast and potatoes, making for a hearty and satisfying meal.

The coffee was hot and fresh, exactly what you need to start the day. The restaurant offers seating, which is a big plus if you prefer to sit and enjoy your meal rather than grab and go. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Whether you’re craving a great bagel, a classic breakfast, or just a solid cup of coffee, Gourmet Bagel delivers. Highly recommended!“

“Popped in late afternoon for a quick bite
The Bagel was great
The service was excellent, server was great and even made sure I got a cold drink after I chose myself one that wasnt so cold (thanks)
Enjoyed the bagel, was fresh, quiet and tasty salmon.
Cld use some remodeling but recommend 100“

“Nice little bagel deli. We got an egg and cheese on garlic and a whole wheat. For a $3 bagel it's missing anything special. If it was not as expensive or had something special i could recommend this place, but if you are just passing by its not a bad place to grab a bite.“

“Can bagels get any better than this? Only if your loving parent made them.

They’re so fast and so fresh here. The options are endless, the coffee’s great, and the whole place hums with that perfect New York rhythm. You can smell the eggs cooking, hear the chatter, and feel how efficient and attentive everyone is; it’s the heartbeat of the city in breakfast form.

Judging by other reviews, maybe this place has the occasional mood or efficiency bump like that same loving parent who moves a little too fast or hits a moment of burnout. We happened to catch it on a good day, and the vibes were fantastic. I’m positive that if anything ever were off, they’d be quick to make it right.

You’re here reading this review, but in that same amount of time, Tal Bagels could’ve already handed you a freshly toasted bagel loaded with toppings and a hot cup of coffee.

Go. Now. Eat.“

“Great burgers, soups, salad, coffee, and sweets. Cozy. Love the place!“

“Absolutely the best! The bagels were so delicious and all the cream cheese were delicious. We went to the ones in Queens NYC The staff were great , Freedie was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!“

“Tal Bagels have without a doubt the most delicious tuna salad in New York City ; when I visit I always get tuna on a plain bagel and the fresh squeezed orange juice . The most friendly and accommodating employee there is Nargis and I always take her advice about what to get .“

“Absolutely the best! The bagels were so delicious and all the cream cheese were delicious. We went to the ones in Queens NYC The staff were great , Freedie was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!“

“I finally checked out PopUp Bagels, and the hype is totally justified. You absolutely have to get here early—like, when they’re still pulling those hot, fresh bagels out of the oven and tossing them into the bin! Nothing beats that feeling (or smell!) to kick off a New York morning.

I grabbed the three-pack with scallion cream cheese. All the bagels were great, but the Salt Bagel was the runaway winner for me. That perfect salty crunch outside with the hot, chewy inside…Unbelievably delicious !

Grab your hot bagel and a cup of coffee and you are all set. It's the ideal start to any day in the city! 🥯☕️“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“My brother and I needed something quick to eat for a late breakfast, so this was right by us. Read the reviews here and I agree: Excellent food, decent prices and quality service. Kept it simple with a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Coffee was good too!

There’s not a whole lot of dining room space, so you’ll either have to take it to go or get lucky to find an empty table.“

“Me and my friends met the owner Robert and he was so welcoming and nice to us! The bagels were good but the cream cheese was the star of the show!

The mango cream cheese
Bought me to my knees
Robert was so kind,
So glad this store was a random find!“

“Fresh bagels, hand rolled and made onsite. Can’t beat the selection. I thought it would be a tourist trap due to its location, but it beat every other shop we tried.“

“One of the best bagel sandwiches in the city! Sooo many choices so I asked the lady at the counter what her favorite thing on the menu was and she definitely steered me in the right direction. I ended up ordering the Cubano grilled cheese and got an onion bagel instead of bread. The cheese pull…. Flawless. Highly recommend!!“

“If you're craving a real bagel — the kind that’s crisp on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and generously packed with flavor — B & B Bagels delivers in every way. But what truly sets this place apart isn't just the incredible bagels (though they are some of the best you’ll find); it’s the entire experience.
From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm, welcoming aroma of fresh-baked bread and a friendly smile from the staff behind the counter. The team at B & B is attentive, efficient, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you're grabbing breakfast on the go or sitting down for a relaxed bite, the service is consistently top-notch. I highly recommend this place!“

“Apollo’s Lox Bagels are incredibly delicious and definitely among the best bagels in NYC. The hype is truly justified.

The bagel rolls are delicately toasted, and the salmon and cream cheese combination is perfect. A real treat!

Luckily, the shop in the East Village isn't as crowded as the location north of Washington Square Park. We didn't even have to wait 10 minutes on a Friday at 3 p.m., which is practically a world record in NYC. The team is quick and appropriately friendly.

Since there's hardly any seating, it's best to take your bagels to go and eat them in the chilled Tomkins Square Park.

Highly recommended!“

“Appetizing. Good bagels, plenty of seating 👍“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“The most delicious bagel I have ever eaten! Cream cheese with pistachios and raisins. Thank you!“

“Classic neighborhood staple. Been having the ham and egg since I was a kid. The two man team behind the counter can make you a sandwich in about 2-3 mins so if you’re running late for the F train you can still get a solid (and cheap) breakfast. The ice coffee is pretty good for deli coffee as well (ask for 1/2 sugar with vanilla!)“

“the best of everything!! I so love 5his place! i'ts just what king needed!!🥰“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Every neighborhood in this partisan city has its best place that makes bagels fresh all day and serves them with cream cheese, lox, or whitefish. This is that place for Greenwich Village. The bagel has gorgeous texture and there’s always something hot—straight out of the oven. This isn’t just round bread, this is a proper NYC bagel. Live dangerously: Get the pumpernickel.“

“One of the best bagel spots in Manhattan. Leon’s Bagel nails the classic New York bagel experience — fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of chewy. Their Classic Lox Sandwich is a must-try.

There’s no indoor seating, but they do have a few limited outdoor spots. If the weather’s nice, I recommend grabbing your bagel and coffee to go and heading over to Washington Square Park — it’s just a short walk away.

They also sell some great merch, though I do wish their house blend coffee beans were available for purchase — the coffee is that good.

Definitely worth a visit, even if it means taking a small detour. A real gem in the heart of Manhattan.“

“We had a great experience at The Regular while in town for the marathon. The food was amazing and I can’t say enough about the friendly staff, they were all attentive and a big shout out to the barista in the front…she greeted everyone with a smile and was so pleasant going above and beyond to make everyone that walked in the door feel like so welcomed.“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“
